However, business users\nhave proven more reluctant to commit to a new OS. The idea of a major\nbusiness-wide software update is a daunting prospect and many people are\nperfectly satisfied with Windows 7. However, the time has come to embrace the\nfuture and update to Windows 10. In this series of articles, we will be\nexploring the features of Windows 10 and covering some of the key reasons to\nmake the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, it is important\nto bear in mind that as of January 2020, Microsoft will no longer be providing\nsupport for Windows 7. Windows 10 is set to be Microsoft\u2019s final OS, with the\nfocus in the future being improving and optimising it. Therefore, this should\nbe the last major OS update you will have to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Windows 10 has some impressive new\nfeatures with the aim of protecting your identity and your data. Windows Hello\nsecures your devices using biometrics and Windows Defender Exploit Guard scans\nfor, quarantines and removes malware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall better system\nperformance, including faster, smoother transitions between apps, has been\nachieved using the same hardware as Windows 7. The minimum hardware\nrequirements enable even small businesses on a budget to choose from a wide\nnumber of devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Efficient Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unified Update Platform (UUP)\nstreamlines the update process by identifying and downloading only the changes\nthat your PC specifically requires, saving time and space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edge Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft Edge, with its impressive\nspeeds, is fast becoming competition to Chrome and Firefox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User-Friendly Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The start menu has been brought\nback after the negative feedback about its disappearance in Windows 8.\nAdditionally, Microsoft collects feedback and ideas from a dedicated team of users\nin order to make the interface more accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cortana<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the rising popularity of Siri,\nAlexa and Google Now, Cortana provides convenient, hands-free communication. It\ncan also search the cloud, internet and your hard drive to provide reasonably\nintelligent answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windows Management Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to snap together four\napps on a screen, resize windows, connect multiple monitors and create virtual\ndesktops help maximise productivity and optimise screen space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cross-device Familiarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Windows 10 allows you to use your\nWindows 10 enabled phone or tablet in the same way as your PC so you can work\nfrom anywhere. Windows 10 is also optimised for the cloud; it is designed to\ntightly integrate with Office 365, providing a seamless user experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windows Autopilot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most impressive features is Autopilot. It allows you to configure a new computer for your business from the cloud. This means that an employee can take a new PC and connect to the office network via the cloud, without the need for IT support to set it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following weeks we shall be exploring these\nfeatures in more depth.
